Online support
Practical approaches you can use online
Janet uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities and build goals together. That approach focuses on listening, validating what you’re facing, and working at a pace that feels right for you.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which teaches concrete skills for reducing worry, changing unhelpful thoughts, improving sleep, and managing mood. Trauma-focused therapy is used when past abuse or violent events affect daily life; it involves carefully processing painful memories and learning grounding and coping strategies to reduce distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet treats therapy as a collaboration - she will discuss options, try methods suited to your goals, and adjust the plan as needed. Clients help set priorities and decide which techniques feel most helpful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent with a busy life.
